a tree skirt...

before i get to showing you my tree skirt, i was very excited to find out today that i won the giveaway on so much for my plans...!! YAY!! thanks emily! i can't wait for my fabric to come in the mail!!

last night (after much pressure from the dh) i finally completed the tree skirt for our christmas tree...and it is even 18 days before christmas! i am so happy with how it turned out, and i do have to agree with my husband that the tree looks much more complete with it.

pattern: amy butler's tree skirt
fabrics: generic white felt, figgy pudding glacier red white, figgy pudding silent night white (lining)

a closer look...

i love the over-sized buttons!!

a quick look at the lining...

i have a few more of amy butler's christmas projects on my list...hopefully they are completed at some point, but for now i have to go clean my sewing room. it looks like a tornado went through! guess i have not taken the time to clean it up since we got back from thanksgiving! oops! :)

p.s. - i also went to the library today! so exciting!! i should have been a librarian...maybe in my next career. i got three books to read this month. i will let you know what i think about them as i finish them.

I've been needing to make a tree skirt for a couple years, but I just can't seem to make time! Yours turned out really cute!

emily - thanks! i did enjoy making it even though it was a little cumbersome because of the size. it was fairly easy though. if you like the pattern it was a free one! there is a link to the pdf in the post!

lindsey - thanks so much friend! we need to get together some time soon.
